Chapter 1161 Return to Heavenly Demon City

Lang Ye was stunned when he heard this, and then he heard the sarcasm in Zhou Yiqiao's words.

He smiled bitterly and explained immediately.

"Brother Zhou really misunderstood. Lang Ye definitely did not mean to stand by and watch."

Having said this, he let out a long sigh.

"After marrying Jinxuan, although I have gained more resources from the Flame Scale Royal Family, I also have to take care of more things."

"To be honest, within this Flame Scale Demon Territory, the various tribes are intertwined and their conflicts of interest are thousands of times more complicated than the outside world imagines."

"Although I am Jinxuan's partner and have been entrusted with the important task of supervision, I must be extremely cautious in every step I take. If I am not careful, it may cause unnecessary conflicts and turmoil."

A trace of helplessness and heaviness flashed in Lang Ye's eyes.

"As a member of the Celestial Demon Clan in the past, I naturally have deep feelings for my fellow tribesmen. It is naturally my responsibility to seek benefits for the Celestial Demon Clan."

"But now that I am in a high position, every decision I make affects the future of the entire Flame Scale Royal Family. Considering the stability of the entire Demon Realm, sometimes I have to be harsh on the Heavenly Demon Family."

He paused, his tone becoming more sincere.

“I know very well that this choice has caused many brothers and sisters of the Sky Demon Clan to resent me. Some have even chosen a more radical path, secretly colluding with the Earth Demon Clan in an attempt to change the status quo through external forces.”

“Although I understand this, I am full of contradictions.”

Lang Ye seemed to have finally found an outlet to vent his anger, and poured out his grievances to Zhou Yiqiao.

"The Earth Demon Clan is the shadow of the land of Zoroastrianism. They covet not only the resources of the entire Demon Realm, but also the foundation of survival of all our clans."

"Their ambitions are enough to plunge the entire demon realm into an irreparable situation."

"Although I understand those tribesmen who have lost their way due to despair, reason tells me that we must not allow this force to grow stronger."

Having said that, Lang Ye's gaze became unusually firm.

"Brother Zhou, your actions today were beyond my expectations, but they also played into my hands."

"Lang Ye has been hesitant to take action because he actually hopes to use the power of Brother Zhou to eliminate this brother of his clan whom I have never had the heart to deal with personally."

Zhou Yiqiao frowned slightly when he heard this, and then slowly relaxed his brows. He looked at Lang Ye deeply, as if he was assessing his sincerity.

After a moment, he sighed softly, his tone showing both understanding and helplessness.

"Power is something that, no matter if it is a human or a demon, once it is in hand, it will foster ambitions while also bringing with it an unspeakable burden."

Zhou Yiqiao patted Lang Ye's shoulder, forgiving him for what he had done.

"Forget it. I came here just for you. Let's not talk about these unhappy things for now."

When Lang Ye heard this, a grateful smile suddenly broke out on his face.

He hurriedly collected the remains of the Tianyao clan members and led Zhou Yiqiao to escape towards Tianyao City.

Perhaps it was because they had not seen each other for many years, or perhaps he felt guilty towards Zhou Yiqiao, but Lang Ye's words were particularly warm along the way. He kept sharing what he had seen and heard in the Flame Scale Royal Family over the years, and how he tried to maintain a delicate balance in the intricate situation.

As Zhou Yiqiao listened to Lang Ye's description, he suddenly had an idea and spent ten years of his life to check Lang Ye's fortune once again.

His gaze pierced through layers of illusion and stared at the little dragon of destiny circling above Wolf Night's head.

The hint of red mixed in with the gold is like the most gorgeous clouds in the sky at dawn.

“Although there has not been a qualitative change, it has become much more popular than it was ten years ago.”

Zhou Yiqiao secretly complained in his heart.

"Could it be that marrying the princess was not the key event that changed Wolf Night's fate?"

"What really changed his fate quietly behind the scenes was actually some other incident within the Flame Scale Imperial Family?"

He pondered secretly in his mind, but appeared calm on the surface and continued to chat and laugh with Lang Ye.

After walking slowly for several hours, Zhou Yiqiao finally saw the outline of Tianyao City.

Different from the neatness and prosperity of human cities, Tianyao City is more like a magnificent painting that is slowly unfolding, and every stroke contains the wildness and creativity unique to the demon race.

The city wall is built by cleverly combining huge monster bones and hard rocks. It is both solid and exudes a primitive and rugged beauty.

Above the city gate, the totems of the Flame Scale Royal Family and the Sky Demon Family fluttered in the wind, and the emblems of the two families were intertwined, just like the two families that were now blending together.

As they gradually approached the city gate, the noise in the city gradually became clearer.

The buildings in the city are well-arranged, but not yet fully completed, and busy demon craftsmen can be seen everywhere.

Although the street is not wide, it has a unique flavor. There are various shops on both sides, selling all kinds of rare monster materials, spiritual objects and blood used by various monster practitioners.

Although Tianyao City lacks the sophistication and scale of the human race, it has its own vibrant and unrestrained charm.

While leading the way, Lang Ye introduced the planning and development of Tianyao City to Zhou Yiqiao, his words full of longing and determination for the future.

It was already evening when the two arrived at Tianyao City, and the lights in the city were already on.

It was a kind of light different from that of humans, driven by demon stones and demon power, emitting a warm and soft light, shrouding the entire city in warmth and peace.

Walking on such a street, Zhou Yiqiao couldn't help but secretly admire the efforts that Lang Ye had put into Tianyao City.

Zhou Yiqiao had a feeling that if Lang Ye was given more time and resources, he would be able to build a more prosperous city.

The two continued to go deeper, and the prosperity and hustle and bustle of Tianyao City gradually gathered in the center of the city.

It was a magnificent and splendid palace.

Its appearance is completely different from the many buildings in Tianyao City. It is inlaid with countless dazzling spiritual stones and minerals, like a bright pearl in Tianyao City, shining brightly.

Lang Ye led Zhou Yiqiao through layers of guards and into the palace gate.

Inside the door is a long corridor inlaid with gems of various colors. The murals on both sides are lifelike, telling the history and legends of the Flame Scale Royal Family and the Sky Demon Family.

The two walked through the corridor and entered the main hall, and finally saw Princess Jinxuan, who was wearing a gorgeous long dress and an exquisite phoenix crown on her head.

"Mr. Zhou, it's you!"

Princess Jinxuan walked forward and bowed to Zhou Yiqiao.

"I would also like to thank Mr. Zhou for giving my clan the Nine Revolutions Resurrection Grass, which helped my Flame Scale Royal Family solve the hidden danger of inheritance."

"The Flame Scale Royal Family has been able to achieve such development in the past ten years, all thanks to Mr. Zhou's generous help."

Princess Jinxuan's voice was gentle and full of gratitude, and her eyes flashed with deep respect for Zhou Yiqiao.

"Your Highness is too polite. Zhou and the Flame Scale Royal Family also made fair trades. I also got what I wanted from the nobles. There is no such thing as one person owing anyone anything."

Zhou Yiqiao smiled slightly, his tone calm and humble.
